Realistic exit opps from a Rating's Agency?

What are the common exit opps from a top 3 ratings agency? I see from LinkedIn that AM and pension funds are the most viable route, but would it be possible to exit to a HF from here?

I'm in structured finance currently, not looking to go into arranging.

While I have not worked for a HF, I can give you my two cents on AM. CRA experience is appreciated in fundamental investing, specifically relevant when preparing IC documents and for credit underwriting purposes. I personally believe individuals with rating agency background can become solid investors, given their approach to risk management and structured approach to assessing companies.
